Crafts
Click here for a list of vendors you saw at the 50th Folk Festival!
From August 17-19, 2012
Crafts are a part of the folk tradition and the Philadelphia Folk Festival is pleased to continue our expanded crafts area at the top of the concert hill. Walk through and admire the craftsmanship; watch the glassblowers, metalsmith, artists, and candlemakers at work; take home a one-of-a-kind item to help you remember the Festival during the winter. Parents please note: This is not day care. Please share this experience with your children. The Philadelphia Folk Festival Craft Show is a juried event.
Interested in applying for a place in the 2012 craft show?
The Philadelphia Folk Festival Craft Show is now accepting applications for 2012. The annually juried exhibition features about 60 exhibitor booths. The 2012 fee for a 10' x 10' space is $550 for the three day festival. This includes electricity and meals.
Who may apply:
The Philadelphia Folk Song Society Festival Craft Show is committed to featuring handmade goods created by the artists and artisans who show them at our event. Items not made by the applicant or the applicant's studio are ineligible. The Craft Jury may occasionally decide, in addition, to feature other examples of indigenous crafts which represent the folk culture of an area. Again, this year, we have chosen to add an area featuring a small number of non-craft vendors, who also may apply here.
When to Apply:
We are currently accepting applications for the 2012 Folk Festival. The submission deadline has been extended until March 10, 2012.
How to apply:
Please fill in the application completely. The application will be considered complete only when you have also sent us 4 images of your work and one of your booth. The booth image should be in an outdoor setting. You can upload those images as you fill out the application. This is the best way to apply. Printed photographs are acceptable, but not preferred. If sending prints, PRINT A COPY of the completed application BEFORE you hit the submit button, and enclose the printed copy of the application with the prints you send for the jury to consider.
